Take 5 Challenge with Paper Issues

Today I'm sharing my take on this month's Take 5 challenge using the beautiful My Mind's Eye Splendor collection. Of the items listed, I used polka dots, brads, the color pink, strips of paper, and mist.

The Splendor collection is perfect for this picture of my daughters and me. I chose to print the photo in black and white to keep it from clashing with the papers and embellishments.

My layout began by cutting strips of patterned paper, folding them accordian style, and then machine stitching them so they look like ribbon.

I sewed five of the strips of paper and cascaded them down the page in addition to paper strips that lay flat.

Next, I adhered the photo to the page and began embellishing with the floral die cuts and stickers from the collection. I love all of the chunky layers.

Last, I added brads, enamel dots, and mist to complete the layout.

This collection is stunning and I love how easy it was to create a timeless layout with the lovely embellishments. I don't think it will be in the shop long - be sure to visit today and use code MCJEN at checkout for a 20% on your entire order.

Hello friends! It's McJen today with a fun layout using the Amy Tangerine Sunshine and Good Vibes collection with one of the hundreds of FREEPaper Issues' cut files that are available in the shop. You can find the Rainbow Clouds file here.

One thing I love about cut files is having the ability to use all or just some of the file depending on the project. Here, I isolated the pieces of the rainbow and cut two of each color, stitched one on top of another, and distressed the edges of the top layer to achieve the effect I was after.

This cut file does have a title over the top of the rainbow; however, I chose to use gold Thickers instead.

I love the glittery gold with the bright rainbow.

The photos were backed with clouds from that were cut with transparency paper from the same collection.

The embellishments were kept pretty simple - I used the Love clip on one photo along with puffy stickers adhered to the rainbow. I added journaling along the bottom of the page, doodled a border, …
